Since the outbreak of the Reaper invasion in 2185, it has finally come to an end. The war lasted three years and two months.

The reason why the war ended a year longer than the Second Citadel War was because of Mu Xing - because she provided a way to shut down the secondary repeaters before the war, some races successively turned off the secondary repeaters near the home planet. In addition, there are some undeveloped repeaters that are always turned off, therefore, not all repeaters are destroyed in the tide of the "Optimus Furnace" outbreak.

Continually, not all of the Reapers were destroyed in that tidal wave, and some of the remnants of the Rangers survived the closure of nearby repeaters - the encirclement of these Reapers lasted a whole year. It wasn't until July 2188, when all known Reapers, were wiped out, that the Combined Fleet officially declared the end of the war, and incidentally designated July 1 as Galactic Victory Day.

In the past three years, the most significant event, in addition to the Second Citadel War, was the opening of the "Dawning City".

While some secondary repeaters, such as the "Charon" repeater of the solar system, have been preserved. But these secondary repeaters are not connected to each other, so the galactic civilization is still divided into isolated pieces of airspace - the vast starry sky has become a natural boundary that modern civilization cannot cross. Not to mention the communication between civilizations, even the return of the combined fleet to their respective homelands has become a big problem.

At this time, it was still Mu Xing who stood up and let go of some of the permissions of the "Dawning City", making the "Dawning City" located in the Silver Heart become a "crossroads" of the entire galaxy. It's still not very convenient, but you can at least reach Dawn City first through the secondary repeater. Then hop on to the next stop through the City of Dawn.

What people didn't expect was that the person in charge of this crossroads did not belong to the Dawn Regiment, or the Star Alliance. Instead, he disappeared in the Second Citadel War. It is likely to be the only surviving AI in the galaxy - EDI! Manufactured by Cerberus, the Normandy that has gained freedom was once the host AI. Based on Shepard's current rise to prominence, EDI seems to be a candidate acceptable to all parties......

Now that there are four major races in the galaxy, the Asari people are still in the first place with their deep accumulation and long life; The Turks also have the most powerful army in the galaxy, but the hidden dangers caused by the former civil war have fermented again, and there are already signs of internal division; Compared to the first two races. The position of the Salarians is no longer so secure. The short life span and matriarchal society all left colonies lacking females after the breakup. Most of them can only look for new evolutionary directions......

On the contrary, it was the Star Alliance, due to the great colonial retreat before the outbreak of the Great War. Now the concentrated star federation has become more and more vigorous and upward, becoming the most dynamic race in the entire galaxy.

And then there's the subsequent life of some people.

Due to the large number of credit loans and technical support provided for post-war reconstruction, Zhao Min's former junior secretary Elaine. With the support of environmental organizations and Jinghua Office. Become one of Asari's top leaders.

Gueras became the Grand Commander of the Turks, and he worked with Tully. Zola's union has greatly narrowed the relationship between the two races, Turian and Quarian. On the day of their wedding, a new "Akatsuki-class" battleship appeared at the wedding scene. This most advanced warship in the whole galaxy caused a great sensation. You must know that except for Marshal Li Huamei (posthumously) who once piloted a similar battleship, no one knows the true origin of this mysterious warship. Now, except for the newlyweds, no one knows who sent such a priceless warship......

Shepard retired, ostensibly because of world peace. The actual reason was that she was fed up with the days of lecturing everywhere. On the day she was retired, the USS Normandy SR2 was also decommissioned as a hero battleship. Immediately moved into the Shanghai Museum. General Shepard received a 100 percent original replica of the Normandy as a retirement gift - the interior was converted into a luxury yacht, of course - and the patron was equally unknown.

Miranda finally killed her dad and lived happily with her sister? Oh...... Of course not, she's now a shadow broker...... The real one!

The devastating Citadel space station, with the cooperation of the four major races, officially entered the reconstruction stage; At the same time, construction of a second "Dawning City" has begun, designed to accommodate a quarter of the total population of the entire galaxy, and will become a veritable galactic city.

Through the study of the mysterious vortex of the Spear Galaxy, scientists have announced that it is likely that the secret of the soul has been found.

The last Protheus, Javik, settled on the home planet of Asari and married an ordinary Asari girl - in the traditional way. Now he is an expert on the Prosian culture of the Council of Thorn, and he writes a memoir every year to defraud a large amount of money......

The fourth-generation warship engine entered the testing phase.

A large number of identical-looking girls have been seen haunting the various galaxies, and are said to be survivors of the Cerberus human trials. Some say they are the crew of the original Dawn Fortress, to which the girls laugh and say nothing.

As one of the most important exits to the "City of Dawn", the post-war Omega space station was officially taken over by the Combined Fleet. The criminals have been cleaned up and transformed into a cutting-edge free trade port. But there are rumors that the combined fleet controls only the superficial order. The intricate network of underground tunnels inside the Omega space station is still in the hands of Queen Elia.

One of the unconfirmed rumors is that the people of the Dawn Regiment are still alive. Many people are willing to believe this rumor, just like Mu Xing has sealed himself inside "City of Dawn" No. 1, and they can't enter the rest of City of Dawn anyway. Many people think that Mu Xing has mourned and died of heart, and has cut himself off from the world; But more people silently wish that she can be with her favorite brother Lu Yuansheng for the rest of her life......

The second unconfirmed rumor is that the Reaper will make a comeback! Despite the vows of the four races, all the Reapers have been cleared. But there is also news (this news comes from the intermittent Dawn Channel) that the real base of the Reaper is located in the Dark World! And judging from the leaked photos of the Dawn Channel, there are indeed a large number of abandoned giant reapers in the dark world. It seems that the Reaper is indeed the base of the Reapers, but it is empty by this time.

Shepard walked out of the door of N7 Academy, standing at the intersection in a daze, not knowing where to go.

She was invited to give a lecture here, only to find that even N7 Academy was no longer the place she was familiar with...... All traces of Anderson, Anne and Li Huamei have only been a few years and nothing can be found. She is no different from a stranger here. The apologetic gaze of Riri, who was also an instructor here, only made her feel embarrassed, so she left in a hurry as soon as she finished the lecture.

"Victory! Victory! A crowd cheered loudly and walked through the street, causing Shepard to frown. They were celebrating not a victory over the Reaper, but a victory over the junta - today was the day of the first Star Alliance general election since the Second Citadel War. Hackett was defeated by 481 votes to 1,124, and immediately announced his retirement from politics and refused to accept the reissue of the rank of marshal, and the old man chose to be a commoner.

This was hyped in the news as a "victory of the dish cooking"! You see, the people first used the centralization of the junta to kill the reapers; And then with the power of the dish cooking, he killed the junta! What a glorious victory—a dish of boiling ten thousand pieces!

But no one said that during the entire election process, Hackett never made a single public speech about canvassing! He has not attacked his rivals once, nor has he refuted them in any way -- he has completely surrendered the presidency.

Although the junta "fell", the iconic position of totalitarianism, the Star Union president, was retained. And the second president who won the general election was also an unexpected candidate - the former star union ambassador Udine...... Aside from a brief collaboration, Shepard didn't want to have anything to do with this man. In her eyes, Udine is a dirty politician.

Shepard stared blankly across the street......

There is a group of beautiful women there, like a touch of the city. They seemed to be on their way to shop, each dressed in fashionable clothes and carrying a large number of shopping bags, standing on the side of the street talking and laughing. The sound of laughter like silver bells flew all the way down the street. A young man in a wheelchair was surrounded in the middle with a helpless face, and his body was full of shopping bags.

"Annie? Li Huamei? Is that Lu Yuan? Shepard looked at the other side intently, "Li Huamei in jeans?" And how could Anne wear a short skirt...... I must have read ...... wrong."

But tears still gradually blurred her eyes. Thinking of her friend, she couldn't help but shout loudly, "Annie! Huamei! Is that you? She walked forward involuntarily.

But at this time, a passenger car suddenly drove past the street, blocking her in front of her and blocking her vision. When the bus left, Shepard stopped gloomily...... When I got closer, I realized that these young men and women were just strangers...... Am I missing them too much?

"What's wrong with you, do you need help?" A woman with slender legs leaned over and asked with concern.

"It's fine, it's just ...... Dust flew into the eyes. Shepard hurriedly wiped away his tears, found a random direction, and fled away from the group. The autumn afternoon sun stretched her figure slender.

The crown is covered with Jinghua, and the people are alone and haggard.

Behind her, Li Huamei and Anne also burst into tears and waved goodbye to her back......
